GSP could go either way had long reach and size but used his superior stamina and lay and pray to get the job done, very rarely finishing opponents for fear of impregnation.

This is one of the meow reasons why i love mma. combat sports in general

Within the context of staying somewhat close to the same weight of course

It does not matter which frame you have, it is how you use it.

Everyone from people with frames like Hughes or Kid Yamammamamamamotttto to Jones and Semy Schilt and Meow Mcguffsterson have all successedeed.

It is cool. There are tons of fighters with massive reach and size advantages who did not turn out to be shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Giant Gan fuckstick Mcgee or whatever the fuck that dudes name was. JEssamyn Duke, Stefan Struve, whoever you look at.

Only when skill and training are at similar levels. But we have plenty of examples of fighters with size, height, or reach advantages getting destroyed for not knowing how to use it. Or exhaustion with tough weight cuts/poor conditioning.

How did struve ever lose a fight?

Struve is really the only example of not utilizing his reach and size advantage but he does however have a great submission game and a nasty TKO win over Stipe.

Even Nate Diaz fully utilized his reach and size advantage to make a title run and to beat McGregor twice. I can't think of any other fighters that meet the reach and size advantage criteria that didn't flourish other than Struve. Struve just fights like a brawler but he still has the tools to be a HW champ.
